My first post ever on FNT was “Backwards Rapper” by Price Ea. Nearly a year later, the leader of the “Make Smart Cool” campaign is back with his most powerful work to date. Laying months and months of brick and mortar into his newest piece of work, “Smoke Weed With The President”, I present one of the most insightful raps I’ve ever heard. Prince Ea is more than just a rapper, he’s more than just an artist, he’s more than just a spokesman. Influenced by the great Steve Urkel, this St. Louis, MO native is not only bringing intellect back to a depleted genre, but his content revolves around education. The art of educating is one of the most powerful influences beheld by any man. Prince’s ability to convey his message through music gives him a competitive advantage in reaching a whole new demographic.
He has done his research. “Smoking Weed With The President” is an open letter to the US government, and more specifically, President Obama. It’s a movement for truth and opportunity. It’s a topic that everyone has an opinion on; smokers and non-smokers. I’ll let the song do the talking, because frankly, it’s a lot more valuable to listen to that than it is to me blog. This is much more than music. I hope even my hip-hop haters enjoy this one. Sound off in the comments section with your reaction!

Hip-Hop | Prince Ea – Backwards Rappers

“I’M SO TIRED OF RAPPERS TALKING ABOUT BULLSH*T ON THE RADIO!! IT REALLY PISSES ME THE FU*K OFF. I MADE THIS VIDEO TO HOPEFULLY GET THROUGH TO SOME OF THEM…..
Shouts out to De Storm, NAS’s Rewind, Lost Generation, The dude who wrote Bars from Sumer, and all others who came before :)”- Prince Ea
Although this video has quietly been going viral for approximately a month now, I still felt it was necessary to share with anyone who has yet to see and/or hear it. It’s not everyday we come across an artist like Prince Ea. Creative, thought provoking, clever, honest, are just a few words that can describe his music. The 22-year old St. Lunatic native has received some serious publicity with the release of this track and video, representing the opposing end of the hip-hop spectrum we’re so accustomed to hearing, making “smart cool”. Prince Ea shares his opinion on all the “backwards rappers” in the industry nowadays and how behind the champagne, catchy hooks, drugs, etc. is knowledge and potential. Books > Hooks.

While we’re on the subject of sensical hip-hop, here’s a new cut from Kendrick Lamar which was featured on Peter Rosenberg and Popchips What’s Poppin Vol. 1.
